Dramatica - 'Believer' (official music video)

Το μακρινό 1989 ο Dennis Murcia και ο Diego Ramirez, που γνωρίστηκαν στο κολέγιο, αποφάσισαν να δημιουργήσουν συγκρότημα. Decadence το όνομα. Η μπάντα διαλύθηκε το 1993. Είκοσι χρόνια αργότερα ξαναένωσαν τις δυνάμεις τους και με την συνδρομή σπουδαίων μουσικών όπως ο Mark Zonder (Warlord, Fates Warning κλπ), Mark Boals (Ring of Fire, Yngwie Malmsteen, Uli Jon Roth, Royal Hunt κλπ) και ο Michael Vescera (Obsession, Yngwie Malmsteen, Loudness μεταξύ άλλων) οι Decadence μετονομάσθηκαν σε Dramatica.

Η μπάντα μας συστήνεται κάπως έτσι: «Dramatica is an American metal band formed in the early 90’s. The band was formed by Dennis Murcia (bass) and Diego Ramirez (guitar). Their sound is classic metal, somewhere between Iron Maiden and early Metallica» αναφέροντας όπως επιρροές συγκροτήματα όπως Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Pantera, Testament, King Diamond, Mercyful Fate, Fates Warning, Dream Theater, Rush, UFO, Led Zeppelin, Helstar, Yngwie Malmsteen, Pink Floyd.

Οι Dramatica έχουν κυκλοφορήσει εννέα singles και δύο "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους. Εστιάζουμε στον δεύτερο, ο οποίος τιτλοφορείται "Beyond the Eyes of Deception", κυκλοφόρησε προ διετίας (αυτοχρηματοδοτούμενος) και στην παρούσα ανάρτηση παρακολουθούμε το μουσικό βίντεο του τραγουδιού "Believer"...
